As we all know, all the main cast in this drama are playing the characters of childhood friends who grow up together and have now reached the point in their lives where they have to choose their own life paths and even life partners. In the gang, Deok-seon is the only girl who lives in the semi-basement floor under Jung-hwan’s house. Jung-hwan, on the other hand, is the richest in the gang. Dong-ryoung is the funniest. Sun-woo is the smartest. And Taek is the most innocent and is a baduk genius.
